Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS creates a dynamic IP address that is aliased to a static hostname,
allowing a computer on the network to be more easily accessible from the Internet.
Typically, when connecting to the Internet, the service provider assigns an unused
IP address from a pool of IP addresses, and this address is used only for the dura-
tion of a specific connection. Dynamically assigning addresses extends the usable
pool of available IP addresses, while maintaining a constant domain name. This
allows the user to access a device (a camera, for example) from a remote location,
since the device will always have the same IP address.
When using Dynamic DNS, each time the IP address provided by the ISP changes,
the DNS database changes accordingly to reflect the change. In this way, even
though the IP address of the computer changes often, its domain name remains
constant and accessible.
